WHAT IT IS

Cruelty or fragility, what can you see? Everything is not always as it seems. An elegant puppeteer seems to be pulling the strings of a delicate and ethereal ballerina. The destiny of the graceful young girl — suspended precariously mid-air — lies between the spidery fingers of this tall, slender dandy, doomed as she is to her inevitable fate!And yet, is it so clear which one of the two is the executioner and which one the hapless victim? Looking closer, isn’t she also pulling the strings on her end, imperceptibly guiding the movements of the puppeteer’s emaciated fingers? L’orpheline, the fascinating incarnation of all our illusions! When reality surfaces from behind appearances, when all our certainties begin to come undone, she evaporates in a mysterious and perplexing cloud of incense.

Serge Lutens: A perfume line created by Serge Lutens in his own image. Minimalist, straight lined, angular and uncompromising, each of these bottles with their refined style reflects the exacting nature and character of their creator. A sobriety which enhances the richness and sumptuousness of the perfumes, whose scents and colours are as numerous and as nuanced as precious stones and our personalities. In his now iconic olfactory creations, the perfumer Serge Lutens has for over 20 years been producing strong alcohols with Proustian accents. From “Féminité du bois”, to “Ambre sultan” and “La fille de Berlin”, each perfume tells their own exceptional story and has their own unique signature. Perhaps even yours? 50ml. Made in France.

HOW TO USE IT

Serge Lutens favours the use of premium grade raw materials of natural origin to make its fragrances, driven by the conviction that these alone can ensure full and complex evolution of the perfume on the skin. To use, apply or spray* your chosen fragrance directly onto the skin and let it sit for a few minutes. This allows the composition to take on its full character and reveal its truest, most seductive form. Serge Lutens essences always end up confessing to their deeds!

Serge Lutens users can choose between two application methods as per their preference: purists can opt for the round stopper and dab on the fragrance using their fingers, while those looking for convenience of use can opt for the spray format
